The Big Lonely — Sam Brown

An honest cowboy looking to make an honest wage: that was Coy Bell. But when he hired on with Walter Davis at his ranch outside Decatur, Texas, Coy got more than he bargained for. He never meant to fall in love with the boss's wife, but when Laurel May returned his affection, Coy knew he had to leave Decatur. For a man like Coy Bell, the choice between temptation and honor is no choice at all.

Now, after years of drifting from ranch to ranch, Coy's memory of Laurel May remains as haunting as ever. Searching for her, Coy is unjustly accused of a despicable crime, making him one of the most wanted and hated men in the history of the West. But his only crime is loving a good woman. Coy Bell will follow the trail of bitterness and pain wherever it leads...into Laurel May's arms or to the end of a hangman's rope.
